【题目】Maybe You Should Learn to Relax!

These days, Chinese children are sometimes busier on weekends than weekdays because they have to take so many after-school classes. Many of them are learning exam skills so that they can get into a good high school and later a good university. Others are practicing sports so that they can compete and win. However, this doesn’t only happen in China.

Doctors say too much pressure is not good for a child’s development. Dr Alice Green says all these activities can cause a lot of stress for children. “Kids should have time to relax and think for themselves, too. It’s normal to want successful children, but it’s more important to have happy children.”
